Wal-Mart Workers Stage Nationwide Protest over Fired Employees 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
Rallies are being held in 15 cities today to protest the retail giant
Wal-Mart's firing of protesting workers. The union-backed group OUR
Walmart had set a Labor Day deadline for Wal-Mart to reinstate 20
workers who were let go after taking part in a June walkout. Organizers
say they expect to draw the largest mobilization of protesting workers
and their supporters since the Black Friday strike of last November.
